He took a deep breath. "I know about the relationship between Liu Zhengju and Han Shu."
...
Chapter 56
As expected, Liu Zhengju had a child with his ex-wife. His ex-wife was also his student, and after becoming pregnant, she resolutely gave up her acting career to return to her family.
Liu Zhengju was initially very considerate of his ex-wife, but after meeting his current wife, he abandoned his ex-wife and their three-year-old son and went to Greece with his new lover to pursue further studies.
His ex-wife suffered from severe depression as a result and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Their son has been cared for by his maternal grandmother ever since.
Whether it was fate or not, Liu Zhengju and his new wife were never able to have any more children. Years later, having achieved great success, he divorced his current wife again, becoming a completely lonely man.
So Liu Zhengju remembered his son again and asked people to search for him all over the country. Finally, he met him in a small fishing village.
This child is Han Shu, and his surname is Han Tianqin, which is the same as his mother's.
At that time, he was an unknown novelist, barely making ends meet with meager royalties.
Liu Zhengju had a change of heart and began to dote on his son, trying his best to make up for the years of neglect he had caused him.
Upon hearing that Han Shu wanted to become a screenwriter, he used all his resources to find opportunities for his son. However, Liu Zhengju gradually realized that Han Shu actually had no talent for writing.
Han Shu demanded that Liu Zhengju help him establish himself in the industry, otherwise he could forget about Liu recognizing him as his father.
Just then, with the drama festival approaching, Liu Zhengju finally set his sights on his beloved student, Wen Yuhan, after repeated urging from Han Shu.
He understood that Wen Yuhan was a true genius, and his newly created script was something even he himself could not match.
If only my son Han Shu had written this notebook... that way, I could finally pay off all the debts I owed Han Shu over the years.
...
When Pei Shaocheng received this news, he stood alone downstairs at the hospital and smoked an entire pack of cigarettes in one go.
He couldn't imagine how desperate Wen Yuhan must have felt when she learned all this.
The family members he once cherished most turned out to be the culprits who led him to become a "plagiarist." And he was completely powerless to do anything about it, neither because of the disparity in their actual status nor because of the emotional ties between them.
When he was at his most hopeless, a producer surnamed Wang came to his aid and persuaded him to let go of Wen Yuhan and not let it affect him... If it were him, he probably would have done the same thing as Wen Yuhan.
In fact, there were countless opportunities to remind himself to pay attention to all of this, but he was blinded by Wen Yuhan's "betrayal" and resented her for so many years.
Pei Shaocheng recalled that night when Wen Yuhan lay quietly on the bed and softly asked, "I also want to know what I did wrong."
He crouched down slowly, clutching his head, and slammed the back of his head against the wall behind him repeatedly, making a dull thud.
At this moment, all the passing crowds, and all the busybodies, the curious ones, and the countless gazes, became meaningless.
It seemed that only by continuing to self-harm could the dull pain deep inside be slightly alleviated.
"Damn it, Pei Shaocheng, are you an idiot?!"
Upon receiving the news, Shen Wei rushed forward and cursed under his breath. He pulled Pei Shaocheng up and led him to a relatively secluded spot, took out his sunglasses and put them on him, and whispered, "Damn it, do you think you're not famous enough and want to trend on social media?!"
“I wronged him…” Pei Shaocheng murmured, his eyes unfocused. “I’m the one who caused him to commit suicide. It was me… it was me…”
Shen Wei was also stunned; he had never seen Pei Shaocheng so distraught. He swallowed hard, speechless for a long time, only sighing repeatedly.
"Damn it, this is a disaster..." Shen Wei lit a cigarette and offered it to Pei Shaocheng.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he could only light it himself and slowly exhale a puff of smoke.
“Lu Yanheng is almost here. Can you stop looking like a dog on a leash? Aren’t you afraid he’ll see you?” At this point, Shen Wei paused for a moment, then softened his tone and said, “There’s something I shouldn’t say right now, but… you’re in your prime, and you have a lot of work lined up. Liu Zhengju’s roots in the industry are very deep; he can’t be shaken overnight.”
"I want him dead."
"You... damn it, fine, fine, just kill him, then you'll go to jail too, leaving Wen Yuhan and Lu Yanheng to live happily ever after!" Shen Wei waved his hand, flicked his cigarette ash, and chose to attack Pei Shaocheng's weakness instead. "But don't forget that the reason Wen Yuhan has been hiding this from you is because he didn't want to watch you ruin yourself for him. How can you do this to him?"
Pei Shaocheng looked up in a daze at Shen Wei.
Seeing that this tactic had worked, Shen Wei quickly followed up, "Take my advice, we'll definitely deal with Liu Zhengju, but not now. You're not thinking clearly right now, and if you act impulsively and make a wrong move, you could lose everything. You know that without me saying it. Let's talk it over together after you've calmed down. Right now, the most important thing is your relationship with Wen Yuhan. Hey, how do you plan to face him afterwards?"
Pei Shaocheng's eyes darted around for a moment, then he said with a bitter expression, "I don't know..."
He genuinely didn't know; his mind was filled with Wen Yuhan's dark eyes.
I have done so many wrong things to him, humiliating him with the most vile words, wantonly trampling on his self-esteem, forcing him to find a broken pen cap in the biting cold, demanding that he write scripts by hand day and night even though his wrists were already red and swollen, indirectly imprisoning and restricting his freedom, and forcibly demanding things from him regardless of his mental state... None of these things deserve forgiveness.
Pei Shaocheng lowered his head and chuckled softly. This was the so-called love he had been talking about?
What right did he have to resent Lu Yanheng, or blame others? The person who wronged Wen Yuhan the most in this world was himself.
A figure appeared in front of Pei Shaocheng and said in a cold tone, "He's awake."
Pei Shaocheng suddenly looked up and saw Lu Yanheng's expressionless, elite face.
After giving the notification, Lu Yanheng turned around and walked towards the ward building.
Shen Wei, standing to the side, was so anxious he kept stamping his feet: "Damn it, what are you standing there for! Hurry up, or your wife will really run off with someone else!"
...
Wen Yuhan heard a "beep beep" sound in his ear. He struggled to open his sore eyelids, and the first thing he saw was the hospital's clean white curtains.
Birds chirped outside the window, and the soft sunlight fell on the wall, casting a golden shadow.
He tried to raise his hand to block out the light, only to find that his fingertips were still gripping the clips used to monitor his heartbeat. The oxygen tank above his head was bubbling and gurgling, while the vital signs monitor beside him displayed changing green waveforms.
They've been rescued...
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a helpless smile playing on his lips.
I haven't had such a deep sleep in a long time. In my dream, I seemed to be walking alone along a long street covered in snow. There was no sound, and I felt no fatigue whatsoever.
Until he heard someone call his name, he turned around and saw Pei Shaocheng standing behind him in the soft white light, still with the same affectionate look he always had.
"Minor Cold... Minor Cold..."
The other person called his name over and over again.
Wen Yuhan lowered her eyes, her gaze trembling slightly.
Ultimately, there was still something in this world that he couldn't bear to part with.
But I'm too tired.
I'm so tired.
I wish I could just sleep like this forever...
"Minor Cold!"
Lu Yanheng pushed open the door to the ward and quickly went to Wen Yuhan's bedside. His panicked expression finally turned into joy the moment he saw him.
"You're awake!" Lu Yanheng grasped Wen Yuhan's hand, then noticed the white bandage wrapped around his wrist. His voice trembled slightly as he softly scolded, "How could you be so foolish..."
Wen Yuhan looked at Lu Yanheng quietly and smiled at him. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a tall figure standing outside the ward. Through Lu Yanheng's shoulder, she met those dark and deep eyes.
Pei Shaocheng felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow. He subconsciously clenched his fists, his whole body tense up.
His throat bobbed, unsure of what to say or whether to move forward or stay put.
A moment later, Wen Yuhan avoided his gaze.
Pei Shaocheng was instantly terrified and couldn't help but take a small step forward.
"I……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Yang pushed past him and rushed into the ward.
Seeing Wen Yuhan's eyes redden, he hugged her tightly and burst into tears:
"Teacher, teacher, you scared me to death..."
Xiao Yang cried with tears and snot streaming down his face. Wen Yuhan let him hold him, slowly put his hand around Xiao Yang, and gently patted him on the back.
"Sorry, this joke went a bit too far," he said, still sounding weak.
"Please stop talking and rest first." Xiao Yang wiped away her tears and asked, choking back sobs, "Do you want some water? I'll get you some."
"good."
Xiao Yang walked out of the ward with a water glass in her hand. When she saw Pei Shaocheng standing in the doorway, she frowned and said coldly, "Make way."
Pei Shaocheng remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Wen Yuhan.
"Yanheng." Wen Yuhan gently turned her head away. "Could you help me close the door? I'm a little tired."
Lu Yanheng paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
He stood up, walked to the door, glanced at Pei Shaocheng indifferently, and shut the door out.

Chapter 57
For a long time afterward, Pei Shaocheng either appeared on set to complete the final filming work or sat alone on a bench in the corridor outside the intensive care unit.
They stayed there all night.
Only when the sky began to lighten did he get up and leave silently.
And so it goes, in a never-ending cycle.
Besides medical staff, Xiao Yang was the person who stayed by Wen Yuhan's side to take care of her daily life.
Lu Yanheng comes every day, but recently Lu Yanchen has started causing trouble again in various ways, so he can't stay at the hospital for too long before he has to go back to deal with him. When he runs into Pei Shaocheng, he just glances at him indifferently and walks straight past.
Wen Yuhan still refused to see Pei Shaocheng. The attending physician said that his mental state was still unstable and he could not be stimulated any further.
So Xiao Yang was like a hen flapping its wings to guard against predators, constantly on edge, fearing that Pei Shaocheng would sneak into the ward when she wasn't looking.
That evening, Xiao Yang needed to go back to get some clothes for Wen Yuhan. He peeked through the door and saw Pei Shaocheng sitting on the bench. He frowned, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
